Claire McCollum explores Edinburgh and discovers the rich Christian heritage of Scotland鈥檚 capital. On a history tour, Claire hears about individuals through the ages who, inspired by their faith, had an impact on Scotland and the world. She also visits Polwarth Parish Church on the banks of the Union Canal and takes a trip on the church鈥檚 brand-new canal boat!
Gemma Hunt is in neighbouring Glasgow to meet a Christian using music to break down barriers by setting up a record label to nurture the talent of ex-prisoners. And Claire hears about the faith of one of Scotland鈥檚 and Edinburgh鈥檚 most celebrated sporting heroes, Eric Liddell. His Olympic triumphs were immortalised in the Oscar-winning film Chariots of Fire, but Eric was initially a rugby star and gained his first Scotland cap exactly 100 years ago. On the rugby pitches of the University of Edinburgh, Eric鈥檚 niece tells the story of his life as a sportsman and as a missionary.
With songs and hymns from across Scotland, including Let All the World in Every Corner Sing, Be Thou My Vision and Amazing Grace.
